Priority of towns
A town with priority 1 is given the highest priority.
With the priority the bot chooses how often a town is updated. A town with priority 1 is updated every time and a town with priority 2 is updated once every 2 cycles, etc.

Building QueueDon’t forget to press save afterwards for each town.
At the Queue tab you’ll see a building queue for a single town. You can use the “Prev.” and “Next” buttons to switch between towns.
With the checkbox called “Building Queue” you can turn the queue on/off.
With the checkbox called “Building Target” you can switch between building queue modes (explained below).Mode 1: Target enabled
When you are using this mode you will have to enter the target level for each building. The bot will then choose for you which one it will upgrade first.Mode 2: Target disabled
With this mode you can choose the order of the buildings yourself. Simply click on the ‘+’-sign to add it to the queue. Double click on an item in the queue to remove it.Mode 3: Target enabled (advanced)
This mode is an advanced version of Mode 1. In the settings tab there is a setting called “Advanced Queue”, enable this. You also need to enable the target mode. Now the bot will first finish all the buildings in the non-target queue and after that it will continue with the target queue.Downgrading buildings
Downgrading buildings is supported when using “Mode 2″ or “Mode 3″ and can be enabled at the Queue tab with the setting “Building Downgrade”. The upgrading of buildings has a higher priority than downgrading.

With the default settings the building/unit queue is checked every 20 minutes. If you go to the first tab you see a few timers, when both the “Next Update” and “Queue” timer have reached zero the bot will check the queue. When the bot can make a building the unit queue will be skipped.

Unit Queue
At the Queue tab you’ll see an overview of your units with the preferred target amount. To enable the unit queue you need to enable the checkbox called “Unit Queue”.
With the default settings the building/unit queue is checked every 20 minutes. If you go to the first tab you see a few timers, when both the “Next Update” and “Queue” timer have reached zero the bot will check the queue. When the bot can make a building the unit queue will be skipped.

Templates
At the Queue tab you’ll see a list of templates. With the templates you can save/load your preferred target amount for buildings and units. You can save a template by entering a name and pressing the add button. If you want to update, load or delete a template you can select it at the dropdown box and press the corresponding button.

Militia
At the Queue tab you’ll the militia icon. Here you can choose when you want to activate the militia. The value is the number of minutes before an attack. Setting this to 0 will disable the militia.

Spells / God Powers
Finally you see at the Queue tab spell icons. If you enable those icons the bot will only add units to the queue when the spells are active. The bot will also auto-cast the spells when needed.

FarmersDon’t forget to press save afterwards for each town.
At the Farmers tab you can select which farmers you want to loot. There are also a few settings you can change:Enabled
This enables/disables the looting of farmers.Friendly demands only
If you disable this checkbox you get 2x more resources but it will decrease the mood of the farmer. If you enable the checkbox you get the normal amount of resources and the mood of the farmer will not decrease.Min. Mood
You can choose when the bot should attack the farmers. If the mood of a farmer drops below this value the bot will use friendly demands only.Loot Interval
You can choose the interval of the attacks. Those intervals are the same as ingame. Thus you can choose between 5, 20, 120 and 300. If you have the academic research you can choose also between 10, 40, 240 and 600.
It’s recommend to use 5 or 10, those will give you the most resources if you run the bot for a long time.Max. Resources
The bot will stop farming for your current town when this amount is reached.Scheduler
With the scheduler you can specify when you want to farm. The scheduler has 24 blocks, one for each hour. You can click on them to turn farming on/off.

CultureDon’t forget to press save afterwards for each town.
This feature is only available for donators who donated 5 or more euro. You can find this feature at the tab called “Culture”. With the checkbox in the left-top corner you can disabled/enable the automatic festivals for a town. With the checkboxes below each image you can disable/enable that specific cultural festival.

E-MailDon’t forget to press OK afterwards to save your settings.
This feature is only available for donators who donated 5 or more euro. You can enable this feature at the tab called “Settings”.

Email: The email address that should receive the warnings

Notify By Mail: Enabled this when you want to receive warnings

User Name: Your gmail account

Password: Your gmail password

Server: The mail server (gmail)

Port: Default port (gmail)

Advanced users could use any other encrypted mail server if they want but I recommend to use gmail.

TradeDon’t forget to press Save afterwards to save your settings.
This feature is only available for donators who donated 5 or more euro. With this feature the bot can automatic transfer resources between your towns. When sending resources it will send them from the nearest available town.

Min. capacity to use: (Mode send only): The minimum amount of resources you want to send each time.

Max. trade distance: (Mode send/spy): For towns receiving resources. The town will request resources from all other towns within this distance.

“Receiver”
In this mode a town can only receive resources. The other towns will keep sending resources to this town until your warehouse is full enough.
The setting “Max. Resources” defines when your warehouse is full enough. The value of this setting can be between 1-100%.

“Sender”
In this mode a town can only send resources. It will send the resources to the nearest town first. Also it will first send the resource that is needed the most.
With the setting “Min. Resources” you can choose how many resources you want to keep in your own warehouse. You could for example choose 18000. Then you will always have enough resources for the cultural festivals.
With the setting “Min. capacity to use” you can set the minimum amount of resources you want to send to an other town. This setting should always be higher then 100.

“Spy cave”
In this mode a town sends his resources to the spy cave. Just like towns in the “Sender” mode it uses the setting “Min. capacity to use”. This setting specifies the minimum amount of resources you send to the spy cave. With the setting “Min. Resources” you can specify how many resources should remain in your warehouse. If you don’t have enough silver the trade mode will temporarily be switched to “Receiver”.

Captcha Solver
If your useragent contains MSIE 7.0, like in the screenshot below. You first need to run the “Enable_IE9.reg” or “Enable_IE10.reg” file. Otherwise the bot will not be able to detect the captcha message.
A detailed guide for the captcha solver is available here.

Daedalus

Hey Daedalus do you happen to know if an Antivirus Program or Anti-Malware/Spyware program like (Spybot Search & Destroy / Malwarebytes Anti Malware) could be doing something in the background that can conflict in some way with the Grepolis 2 Bot causing to laggg and freeze at time? I use Avast Antivirus. I think I noticed that if I disable the all the Avast Shield Controls the game inside the bot responds quicker and smoother.

The only thing after doing that I find continues to be annoying is when the functionality of “buttons” or options break and STOP WORKING. As I said before without doing a Refresh with F5 (which does NOT always cure the issue for a little while) buttons like the PUBLICATION button on Spy/Battle Reports will NOT work, neither will clicking on Mail Messages (won’t open up), the “REPLY” button on Forum threads won’t work (although the “Quote” function will continue to work, and sometimes you can NOT even select land or naval units to build in the harbor or barracks.

I am aware that you say the Bot requires NET FRAMEWORK and “Java Scripting” installed, is it possible these can get “corrupted” and if so how do you figure that out and whats the best way to reinstall them??

Every tool that monitors in/out going network trafic could in theory slow down the program. But almost all tools can process the data fast enough so that you wont notice anything.

My guess is that the problem with all the buttons and links is the javascript code that fails. Unfortunately I have already apllied all the know fixes to improve the perfomace. When I find an other solution I’ll implement it as soon as possible.

joao

i´’m a big fan of your job since i played grepolis 1.0 PT version but i stopped to plaing and now i’m back with the grepolis 2.0 BR version in the world19 and downloaded the latest version of the bot but when the browser of the software logs in my account and show the worlds that i have, but it gets back to the login page and then says “Can’t connect, check your settings”.

Max

Hey uthar @first thanks for your nice bot
I ve a question:
If i want the bot trading automatically between my towns, so that there is a equal amount of ressources in every town ( to be able to build in every town as fast as possible) can i set al towns to SEND or do i need to set one town to send (with the farmings) and the other without farming with less ressources to receive?
Hope you understand what i mean

JD

Bilbo

I want to keep one town with max resources with help from an other town. This giving town should also store silver in cave when the receiving towns silver is above 95%.
Is this possible? It seems that trade happens only when one is set to receive and the other to send. Nothing seems to happen when one is set to receive and the other to ‘spy cave’.
Thanks for a great bot.

Rock

So far I have only used the bot to get resources from farmers and it works fine. I have to insert my login information everytime I start the bot, I also have to set up all the options (for farming etc.) everytime. Is this working as intended or can I do something to keep my settings when I close the bot? Or is there a file I can edit to save my information?

Greivid

I have other question, farming is directly or I must why to the bot? if the answer is the first…. It doesn’t works for me S: I have done all the tutorial but it doesn’t works for me. I have the requeriments too.

Jim

i love this tool. just 1 problem. until yesterday my bot ran fine but now it wont farm for me. it says no farmers available. now i play 2 worlds 36 and 49 and the bot works fine on 36 but will not farm on 49. i have restarted my computer and also downloaded the newest bot but it still wont work. this is what the debug txt says:10/8/2012 5:08:26 PM Ingame error in attackFarmers2Response(): Ungültiger Zeitwert ( 600). any suggestions?

That error means that there is something wrong with your loot interval in at least one of your towns.
The intervals 5, 20, 90 and 240 are allowed. If you have done the research you can also choose 10, 40, 180 and 480.

Choose one of the three building modes as explained in this guide and set up your building queue accordingly.
After that just wait until the “Next update” timer and “Queue” timer reach zero.
In the log tab you can see whether or not the bot added something.

mr.OH

It’s really not that hard, just give it a try. The worst thing that you happen is that the bot crashes. Should that happen you can just delete the bot and download it again

If you want to try it you can follow these steps:
1) Close the bot
2) Right mouse click on the “settings.xml” file
3) Click on “Open with” and select notepad
4) Change the settings that I mentioned in my previous post
5) Save and close notepad
6) Open the bot

Speedy

I need some help:
Everytime i try to login,it says “Can’t connect,check your settings.” But in my Settings i have everything correct.
i have my username and Password right and the Servers are also right. I also have IE 9 and in the tab Browser i can Log in normally.

Stephan

Hello Uthar,
well in world phi, I was trapped and got a blocking punishment for 5 days, because of farming in regular intervals of a second. Do you have a possibility to make a variable, or better a random clock rate between 2 and 5 seconds for sampling? Thank you in advance,
best regards
Stephan

You can already randomize the intervals with the settings “Min. Delay Farmers (ms)” and “Max. Delay Farmers (ms)”. In your example that would be 2000 and 5000. I can’t make it any more random than that.

Jampher

I HAVE NO MORE CREDIT THE CAPTCHA AND THE BOT VERSION 2.3.0.5, ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS BECAUSE NOT solve the CAPTCHA reconnects NEITHER THE BUTTON RECONECT NOT THIS WORKING.
I HAVE MORE THAN 100 CITY AND ALL THAT COMES CAPTCHA I HAVE TO CLOSE THE BOT TO UNDERSTAND RECONNECT FRIEND.

THANK YOU FOR PATIENCE WITH ME BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW ENGLISH.
I WILL PUT ONE PRINT OK

When the bot detects a captcha it will pause itself. It’s not supposed to reconnect.
After you have solved the captcha manually you can press the resume button and the bot will start again (You do not need to restart the bot!)

The captcha’s will only be solved automatic when your donator status is active.

thak you so much for helping me and sorry for mi english

Bob

(1) When i use the bot on a 22 inch monitor all the queue (ie. the Colony Ship) is visible but when I use the bot on a 17 inch screen the window is cut off right at the Trireme icon. Is there something i can do to fix this on the 17 inch screen? By the way the Overview and Culture tabs have a scroll bar at the bottom that works fine.

(2) The resume button stays grayed out after the captcha is solved and I have to close the bot down and restart. Is there anything I need to set to make the resume button work? I do have two instances of the bot running on two different servers but the second bot works fine after the captcha.

1) Sure I’ll see what I can do. Probably I’ll add some extra scrollbars. Could you also post a screenshot of this?
2) Could you post a link to your debug.txt and log.txt files or send them to me by email?

argiris

sorry for the incomvinirnce but there seems to be a problem.
the account i am playing the game with has been set with my alternative e mail will the unlock feature still work for it;
sorry for my english!

sean

Love your bot, can not thank you enough. There is an update coming out on the 20th of december for the US servers.. do you know anything about this and if there is danger in using your bot when it updates?

Tigerhobbes2

Hello Uthar,
I’m using your bot on a Mac with Parallels Desktop, and after a few problems installing all this stuff, it’s working fine.
The only issue is that the integrated browser is really-really slow.
I’m not a specialist on PCs, but I tried to follow your advice by double clicking on this Enable_IE9.reg thing.
It installed something, but it didn’t improve at all.
Any idea ?
By the way, I’ve just send you a donation by Paypal, don’t know if you will be able to send me the activation code before you leave for holydays.
Anyway, joyeuses fêtes as we say in France.
Regards

The Enable_IE9.reg file adds some extra info in the register so that the bot can use the latest version of IE installed on your pc.
I have however no idea if this has any effect on a Mac when you use Parallels Desktop. But if I read your message it appears it doesn’t really work.

Could you post the text (user-agent) you see in the browser tab before you start the bot?

Also you should have received your activation code now

it work fine on my windows 8 but i just can seem to get it. like when i use it i dont know what am doing or if am doing it right. if you can get me a nice tutorial or better way on how to under stand the program it would be awesome

sak

stkr

first I wish you a happy and successful new year.
I have some questions about priority things, which I want to explain by example:
Situation 1: Farming more then one Town on a island
If I have 2 or more Towns on the same Island, can I configure the bot, to farm them rotational?

Situation 2: Trading and Culture:
How could I configure the trading, that it will not send too much ressources away so there can’t get a festival there? Which Tab has more priority? The Trading or the Culture?

1) The only way to farm effective with more than one town on the same Island is by using the Farmers tab. You need to select there which farmers a town should loot.

2) The culture festivals are checked before trading. To manage the amount of resources in your warehouse when using the trade feature you can use the setting “Min. Resources”. If you look at the guide (in the trade section) you’ll find a detailed description of all the settings related to the trade feature.

dessembrae

yea i had already tried clearing the cache and using Enable_IE9, browser tab still gets jammed on the loading screen, i have IE 10, but the bot was working fine with it a few days ago when i first downloaded

If it was working fine before then your problem has nothing to do with the Enable_IE9 file or with your version of IE.

It’s probably just a temporarily problem with the browser. This can also happen when you’re not using the bot but just a normal browser.
You could try restarting the bot a few times. Or try pressing F5 a few times when it’s stuck at the loading screen.
Also clearing your internet cache is a good idea, even thought it didn’t work for you the first time.

A very nice job and a complete bot but there is an issue with, on my computer.
I launch the bot yesterday, connect and log on my account, i turn on “Farm” but this morning nothing done.
